Sir, - Having read the report of Ruairi O Bradaigh's reaction to the recent inspection of IRA arms dumps (The Irish Times, June 27th) it struck me how similar he is in thought and manner to that other great Irishman, Ian Paisley.
As O Bradaigh and Paisley may well have more in common with each other than they have with the vast majority of the Irish people, is it now time for Republican Sinn Fein to merge with the DUP? They could in effect become a cross-border body for the promotion of cross-border hatred.
Any suggestions for a suitable name for such an alliance? - Yours, etc.,
David Bradshaw, Sandymount, Dublin 4.
